Buona has been on 95th Street in Oak Lawn since December 2017. In that time, our catering team has handled office lunches, school functions, graduation parties, and neighborhood celebrations for Oak Lawn and nearby Evergreen Park, Hometown, Chicago Ridge, Burbank, Alsip, and Worth.
The Buonavolanto family started everything in 1981 with a restaurant in Berwyn. Our Italian beef is still built the way they did it, with Top Sirloin dry roasted for hours and the drippings turned into natural gravy, following the original family recipe. The pasta is cooked fresh to al dente, and the marinara is the family’s own, passed down through generations.
Feeding twenty guests or a few hundred takes different setups, so Buona offers several. Go with an all-inclusive buffet, set out pre-made sandwich trays, give everyone a boxed lunch, or assemble your own spread from à la carte trays, then add salads and desserts to finish it off.
Pick Lemon Chicken, Meatballs Marinara, or Signature Buona Beef, add a Classic Caesar, and the buffet is covered.
Italian Beef, Combo Beef and Sausage, Chicken Parmesan, and Chicago-style hot dogs, ready to set out.
Sandwich boxes, Spicy Chicken Ranch salad boxes, and Beef and Sausage Bowls, packed one per guest.
Ricotta Cheese Ravioli, Fettuccine Alfredo, Italian Sausage and Peppers, and Tuscan Pomodoro Grilled Chicken by the tray.
The Old Neighborhood House, Spicy Chicken Ranch, and Classic Caesar, served with all-natural dressings.
Cannoli, fudge brownies, and cookie trays to end the meal.
